Steering Committee and Task Forces

The planning process relied on the work of a steering committee and five task forces
with their associated working groups. Each of the five task forces and their associated
working groups were responsible for a specific area. The five areas are:

Student Success and Academic Excellence

Research and Creative Endeavors

Community Engagement

Diversity

Internationalization

The steering committee was responsible for the overall planning process, including
the preparation of the final version of the plan. The steering committee was also
responsible for integrating the recommendations of the task forces, creating an integrated
financial plan to address the university’s financial challenges, prioritizing recommended
initiatives and considering ways to fund prioritized initiatives.
